Cattle And Trees
Can Be Combined,
Experiment Shows
Beef cattle and pine trees can
be grown together successfully on
the same land, provided certain
precautions are taken to protect
the young trees, results of re
search in the University of Geor
gia College of Agriculture Exper
iment Stations show.
Systems of supplementing the
native range growing beneath de
veloping pine stands were tested
in a cow and calf operation at
Alapaha, Ga. on the range graz
ing project of the Coastal Plain
station. Results are presented
in Research Report 14, “Beef
Cattle Management Practices
for Burned and Unburned Pine-
Wire-grass Ranges of Georgia,”
written by Byron L. Southwell
and Ralph H. Hughes.
The trials show that grazing
pressure on areas of yourg seed
lings can be reduced by provid
ing a wide variety of forage in
cluding a limited amount of im
proved pasture. Cattle in the
tests were maintained off the
range on improved forage, mostly
coastal bermudagrass hay, dur
ing fall and winter. The authors
suggest that the operator should
provide ample forage for the
cattle, remove cattle from the
range in the fall before grass be
comes dry and unpalatable, and
start grazing in the spring when
ample forage is available.
Results of the tests indicate
that cattle can get a good portion
of their diet from range plants,
even though these plants are poor
in quality. Even when cows are
forced to get a good part of their
feed from range, they can still
produce good calf crops and wean
calves weighing 450 pounds on the
average at seven to eight months
of age. This, of course, is when
THE COVINGTON NEWS
Witnesses Plan
3-Day Meeting
The local congregation of Je
hovah’s Witnesses has completed
final plans to attend their three
day circuit convention scheduled
for January 17, 18 and 19. The
meeting will be held at the Henry
Grady High School Gymnasium,
929 Charles Allen Drive, N. E.,
Atlanta.
The assembly is sponsored
by the Watch Tower Bible and
Tract Society of Brooklyn, New
York, legal governing agency for
the witnesses world-wide. This
is the first of two regular Bible
conferences conducted by the gr
oup each year. This assembly
is arranged for Georgia Circuit
No. 2, comprising eighteen con
gregations in the greater Atlanta
area, including several near-by
Georgia cities.
Hie theme for the special
program is "Sharing Fully in
Preaching the Good News.’’ Mi
nisters representing the att
ending congregations will appear
on the program. Bible talks and
discussions based on the theme
of the program will assist the
delegates in their ministerial
activities.
Another purpose of the assem
bly will be house-to-house vis
itation by the witnesses in the
Northeast Atlanta area. They
will call on the residents, in
viting them to their convention
sessions, and briefly discussing
Bible topics with them. Jehovah’s
witnesses have long been recog
nized as diligent Bible students
and teachers. This will give
them an opportunity to expand
their ministry in the vicinity
as it is being done world-wide.
Joseph Saia, district minister,
will deliver the main Bible ser
mon on Sunday, January 19 at
3 o’clock. His subject, "God’s
Way is Love,’’ should prove to
be beneficial to the witnesses
and others in attendance.

ON STEEP SLOPES
Anyone who owns a house on
a lot with severe changes in ele
vation knows what landscape and
gardening problems can be cau
sed by this.
Thomas G. Williams Jr., Head
of our Extension Landscape De
partment, has a suggestion. He
says steep slopes that cannot be
mowed should be planted with
a hardy ground cover, or be
stabilized with a retaining wall.
If the area is in semi-shade
or fairly heavy shade, English
Ivy, Liriope or Vinca are satis
factory plants. If the slope is
exposed to open sun, possibili
ties are Horizontal Juniper, Hy
pericum, Thrift and Winter
creeper Euonymus.
Rocks may be placed in the
bank, with “pockets” of soil
left for these ground covers.
Flowers such as Iris, Daylily
and Candytuft are useful in add
ing color in a rock garden.
If the bank is in a hot dry
location, plants such as Santolina
and Yucca may be used with
stone and gravel. Weed growth
is a problem in sunny areas.
Retaining walls often are more
practical if the slope is very
steep. There are a number of
materials that can be used, but
whatever the choice, It should
harmonize with the architecture
and the landscape. Brick, native
stone and concrete are used most
often.
cows are wintered off the range
and fed enough good quality hay to
meet minimum nutritional re
quirements.

Test results also show that
burning improves the range and
fire can be introduced as soon as
trees are eight to ten feet in
height where prescribed burning
is compatible with good timber
management.

1968 Cotton
Sets Records
For Quality
Poor seed, dry weather at
planting, severe Insect infest
ations, disease outbreaks, and
drought with record high temp
eratures during the fruiting per
iod definitely took their toll from
Georgia’s 1968 cotton crop.
But the toll appears to have
been in productivity—not in qual
ity.
W. E. Seigler, Extension Ser
vice engineer - cotton, Univer
sity of Georgia, said fiber qual
ity of the 1968 cotton crop was
exceptionally high—despite the
many difficulties that plagued
growers.
For example, the fiber stren
gth of last year’s cotton averged
90,000 psi (pounds per square
inch). Mr. Seigler said this is
about 10,000 psi stronger than
the 1967 crop, and 11,000 psi
stronger than samples selected
at ginning points throughout the
state during any season in the
past ten years.
Mr. Seigler continued that the
micronaire (fineness of fibers)
was also good in 1968. Eighty
nine percent of the crop was in
the desirable 3.5 to 4.9 range.
This was slightly better than
the ’67 crop and considerably
better than the ’66 crop.
Regarding staple length, about
67 percent of the bales classed
last year were 1 1/16 inches
or better.
According to Mr. Seigler, there
have been seasons during the past
ten years when growers had less
difficulty producing cotton in
Georgia. He added, however, that
the 1968 crop rates higher in
many fiber quality attributes than
any crop produced in this decade.

Macon, Ga.-Hie Georgia Fo
restry Commission has available
a variety of tree species to meet
the landowners’ need. Improved
loblolly and slash pine account
for approximately 76 percent of
the crop now available for sale.
The improved loblolly pine is
a result of the Georgia Forestry
Commission’s Tree Improve
ment Program. The trees were
grown from seed of trees that
exhibited superior form and vi
gor. After five year’s study,
results show that the improved
loblolly yields 19 percent grea
ter volume per acre per year
and 10 percent height increase
annually than nonimproved stock.
The study is being conducted by
the U. S. Forest Service.
The species were first avail
able on a commercial basis in
1964. With the turn of the de
cade it’s anticipated that full
production of loblolly and slash
pine will be improved stock.
